Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style.
Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings
is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a
qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being
technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun.

Demos and independent releases get some slack since the bands are often spent
broke supporting themselves and trying to improve. Major releases usually have big
financial backing, so they may be judged by a heavier hand. All scores can be eventually
adjusted up or down by comparison of subsequent releases by the same band. We attempt to
keep biases out of reviews and be advocates of the consumer without the undo influence of any band,
label, management, promoter, etc.

The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

Dragony is Austria's answer to Hammerfall, Stratovarius and the many other epic power metal bands that populate the genre. "Legends" is the band's first full length album and it provides a solid dose of power metal. The album is full of flashy guitar work, epic music pieces and well thought out songs. The vocals are very reminiscent of Dream Theater's James LaBrie with more of a power metal set of pipes. This album is solid all the way through and "Dragonslayer" is the album's stand out track. Check this one out once it's available.
